A big THANK YOU to all our 2012 Sponsors.  These sponsors help support the league by offering cash donations that go towards vital necessities such as player trophies and awards, opening and closing ceremony costs and other league expenses.  Sponsors are critical to our league's survival, so we encourage families to bring in as many Sponsors as possible (and Sponsors count towards your family PPH requirements!)  Donations equal $250.00 and are a tax-deduction for the Sponsor.  You can download a Sponsor Form from our "Handouts" link.

Please see our "2012 Sponsors" link for all Sponsor business backgrounds and information, and please PATRONIZE our Sponsors!

Thank you!
